All things Google
I'm a sucker for Google. For no reason I love all things Google. I don't think their products are really revolutionary - I mean other companies have been offering the same services for years now. But when Google's name is on it - I am immediately drawn to it.
One thing that I think Google does provide is simplicity. You want to blog? Join blogger. You want email, join Gmail. It's a unified theme so visually its very appealing. There isn't too much clutter so things seem a lot simpler and a lot easier to use.
Recently I decided to join Gmail. I had a great personal email that I have been using since I graduated from college but all of a sudden one day I had a change of heart. So welcome to Gmail. It really isn't that wonderful of an email system. It has some cool features that I haven't seen, but overall its not really everything that I want. But, for some reason, this new shiny toy that they have is exactly what I need to have. So I have given up a couple of hours of my life this week to learn all about Gmail and it's cool functionalities and write people new emails so that I can get new emails in my new email account.
Sucker I tell you.
